With ten weeks gone in the Premier League 2014-15 season Chelsea look invincible at the top of
the pile having won all their league matches apart from 1-1 draws at the
Manchester clubs. Their most prolific win was 6-3 at Everton.
Southampton began
with a 2-1 loss at Liverpool and a goalless draw at home to West Brom, but have
since been in top form under Ronald Koeman and are second in the table having
enjoyed impressive wins over their visitors from the northeast, thumping
Newcastle 4-0 and embarrassing a hapless Sunderland 8-0 while conceding only 5
goals in the league so far.
Reining champions Manchester City are in third place after
losing by a single goal at home to Stoke and 2-1 at West Ham. In their most
recent match they earned 3 points with a goal against their neighbours at the
Etihad.
Draw specialists Arsenal
have only lost once, 2-0 at Chelsea, but are in fourth place ruing their 5
draws including a 2-2 home draw at home to Hull City.
West Ham United are only behind Arsenal on goal
difference having enjoyed a good home run in recent matches including a 3-1
victory over Liverpool.
Swansea City got off to a
flying start with a 2-1 triumph at Manchester United followed by wins over Burnley
and West Brom before being brought down to earth 4-2 at Chelsea. In their
latest match they held Everton to a goalless draw at Godison Park.
Liverpool have
been below par so far this season losing 1-0 at home to Aston Villa and away to
Newcastle while also firing blanks at home to Hull.
Tottenham have had their ups and downs with a 1-1 draw
at Arsenal and a 1-0 home win against Southampton on the plus side but
suffering home defeats 1-0 against West Brom and 2-1 against Newcastle.
Everton who have
scored in all but one of their matches are in 9th position with their 3-2 home
defeat to Crystal Palace being their lowest and their 3-0 home win against Aston
Villa their highest point of the season
so far.
Star-studded Manchester
United are 10th after 10 matches and still looking to find their balance. Their
first win was a 4-0 victory at home to QPR that came in their fourth match of
the season but was followed by a 5-3 defeat at Leicester having led 3-1 with
half an hour left.
West Bromwich Albion are
just behind Manchester United on goal difference with 4 draws and 2 wins, 1-0 at
Tottenham at 4-0 at home to struggling Burnley.
Newcastle United made a good recovery to a poor start of the
season winning their latest 3 matches, 1-0 at home to Leicester and Liverpool
and 2-1 at Spurs to be equal on points with Everton, Manchester United and West
Brom.
Stoke City have had a mixed bag of results but will
remember their 1-0 victory at Manchester City.
Hull City have mostly held their own and will be pleased
with their draws 2-2 at Arsenal and 0-0 at Liverpool.
Sunderland who
will be scarred by their 8-0 pummelling at Southampton have drawn 5 matches and
are only 2 points behind Manchester United.
Aston Villa have had a tough run of matches and since their
1-0 win at Liverpool have slid down the table with 6 straight defeats.
Crystal Palace are
just outside the relegation zone having only registered 2 wins, 3-2 at Everton
and 2-0 at home to Leicester.
Leicester City have
slipped into the relegation zone with 3 straight defeats, behind Crystal Palace
who have scored more goals.
Queens Park Rangers
have lost 7 matches including 4-0 drubbings at Tottenham and Manchester United,
but have had closer encounters recently.
Burnley are at
the bottom of the table with a meagre 4 points from 4 draws. Three goalless
draws at home to Manchester United and Sunderland and away to Crystal Palace
and a 2-2 draw at Leicester is all the newcomers have to show for.
